Manichaeism, also known as Muichaeism, was introduced to Middle-earth from Persia in the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian allowed the establishment of temples in Chang'an to preach, and later flourished, and later Manichaeism had a louder name, Mingjiao!

Because Manichaeism is a foreign sect, it is very different from the teachings of Taoism and Buddhism in the Central Plains, advocating the punishment of evil and promoting good, and the transformation of the world.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Manichaeism was attacked by the imperial court and fell into a slump for a time, and the main altar was moved from Chang'an to Anhui, and later took root in the local area and started from the stove.

Now Manichaeism is very powerful in Jiangnan, and has been secretly recruiting troops and horses, intending to rebel.

After the Song State established itself, it paid attention to commerce and economy, not military, although it was always bullied by other countries externally, and repeatedly violated the border, but the internal stability has been stable, and it can even be said that the country and the people are safe, and the people's lives are not difficult, so Manichaeism has never had the opportunity to rebel.

Ten years ago, Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne as the emperor of Song Huizong, ignoring the government all day long, indulging in calligraphy and painting women, the court was made into a miasma, traitorous ministers emerged in endlessly, officials were corrupt, the Song State has declined, and the neighboring Khitan, Western Xia, and Tubo are all eyeing each other.

Zhao Ji's talent is mediocre, and he can become the emperor because the first emperor Zhezong has no children, he succeeded to the throne as the emperor's younger brother, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he used the name of the new policy to exclude dissidents and favor a large number of untalented people, which made the court miserable and the people miserable.

Originally, it didn't matter if Zhao Ji was mediocre, but this emperor was so happy and arrogant and lascivious, not only building in the south of the Yangtze River, but also collecting heavy taxes, which made the people miserable, and Manichaeism took advantage of the situation to develop believers on a large scale, and its power increased day by day.

Zhao Ji ascended the throne for ten years, the Song Kingdom was in turmoil for ten years, large and small peasant uprisings continued, the most famous is probably not long ago, Liangshan Song Jiang gathered one hundred single and eight generals, gathered people to revolt, and made a lot of trouble in Shandong.

Fang La, the contemporary leader of Manichaeism, the male among the people, saw the opportunity of the civil strife in the Song Dynasty and seemed to have a change.

The beggar gang has always regarded itself as chivalrous, and the intelligence network is the best in the world, Ding Hui noticed something wrong and notified Wang Zhong as soon as possible.

"Helper, Mantuo Villa is also in Jiangnan, in case Fang La causes trouble in Jiangnan, it may have an impact on the business of Mantuo Villa!" Ding Hui said worriedly to Wang Zhong.

"The Murong family and Manichaeism are mixed together, it's interesting!" Wang Zhong put down the information, and then said to Ding Hui:

"Besides Jiangnan, what other major events have happened recently?"

Ding Hui took out another piece of paper and said: "Recently, Li Qiushui is not in Western Xia, and Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, has begun to take power, and he is wantonly eliminating dissidents and sweeping away Li Qiushui's forces, and he has no time to take care of the civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty for the time being!"

"The Khitan Liao Kingdom has been a little calm recently, but Yelu Nerugu, the king of the Southern Courtyard, is a little strange, and the high-level of the army is frequently transferred, and he doesn't know what the purpose is. ”

"Tubo and Dali have always been calm, but there is no change!"

Wang Zhong nodded, understanding that the main trouble of the Song State now was civil strife, Liangshan and Manichaeism raised their banners one after another, and if the Great Song Dynasty could not quickly quell the civil strife, the fire of rebellion would ignite.

"Elder Ding, I'm sorry for you to work hard, pay more attention to Manichaeism and the trend of the imperial court!" Wang Zhong has always respected Ding Hui, which is also the reason why Ding Hui is desperate for him.

In this era, there are many people who "die for their confidants".

"Helper, the last time you made me pay attention to Yan Aguta, there has been some movement in the past few days. Ding Hui said suddenly.

Wang Zhong frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what's wrong with Yan Aguta?"

Wang Zhong, who is familiar with history, understands that the great trouble in the Central Plains is not the Khitan Liao State, not the Western Xia Tubo, but the rising Dajin.

The regime established by the Jurchens, a minority in the north, will bring devastating disasters to China more than ten years later, and the tragedy of Jingkang's shame will leave a heavy mark in the history of China.

"The strength of the Jurchen tribe has increased greatly in recent years, and they have invaded a lot of Liao territory, and the patriarch Wanyan Aguta has recently subdued many small tribes, which has aroused Yelu Hongji's vigilance!"

Originally, when Wang Zhong asked Ding Hui to pay attention to the movements of the Jurchen tribe, Ding Hui didn't care, but in recent years, the power of the Jurchen tribe has grown rapidly, and the patriarch Wanyan Aguta is even more of a hero, consciously encroaching on the territory of the Liao State, and developing a small tribe of less than 10,000 people into a large clan of 100,000 people.

The more he understands the Jurchen tribe, the more he understands Yan Aguta, the more chilled Ding Hui becomes, and the combat effectiveness shown by the Jurchen tribe is about to surpass the previous Khitan and Xiongnu.

A terrifying force is rising in the grasslands of the northern part of the Central Plains, and I am afraid that in addition to Wang Zhong and Ding Hui, only Yelu Hongji knows the horror of the Jurchen tribe.

Wang Zhong knows that there is a saying in history, called "The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they are invincible", which refers to the courage of the Jurchen people, this minority who destroyed the Khitan Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty in history, and the cavalry is strong enough to rank among the top three in the world.

If it weren't for the emergence of a wolf of the sky Temujin in later generations, the cavalry of the Jurchen tribe would even be able to enter the first place in Asia.

Wang Zhong even thought about assassinating Wanyan Aguta to prevent the occurrence of Jingkang's shame, but even if one Wanyan Aguta died, there would be a second one, the rise of the Jurchen clan is the trend of the times, and it is the consequence of a hundred years of weakness in the Central Plains, and it cannot be solved by killing one person.

"You continue to pay attention to the movements of the Jurchen clan, and now the worries of the Great Song Dynasty are not outside. After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Zhong decided to take care of the inside first and then the outside.

Yes, Wang Zhong wants to save the Chinese nation, to reverse the shame of Jingkang with his own strength, and to do something for this era.

Since his reincarnation, Wang Zhong has always been a little confused, and after completely getting rid of the system, he is a little unsure of what to do, or lacks some motivation to move forward.

It wasn't until the beggars cooperated with Mantuo Villa to develop commerce that Wang Zhong discovered the sadness of this era.

The development of the beggar gang has always been determined by the rise and fall of the dynasty, the country is strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the beggars are naturally scarce, the country is weak, the number of displaced people increases, and the power of the beggar gang naturally increases.

The Northern Song Dynasty, where Wang Zhong was reincarnated, was at a time when the dynasty was declining, the people were in distress, and the trend of beggars reached a record high.

In the past eight years, while Wang Zhong has practiced martial arts, he has traveled all over the country, seeing the prosperity of the world and the warmth and warmth of people.

Wang Zhong has seen the scene of profiteers and corrupt officials, holding on to ten thousand gold, and he has also seen the tragic images of those poor people, selling their sons and daughters for a full meal.

Wang Zhong has even seen the tragedy of a village where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the children are eaten.

What is the food for Yizi? It is that they can't bear to eat their own children to satisfy their hunger, so they exchange their own children for cooking with neighbors' children.

Eating people is a tragedy in the world, and you have to eat your own children, to be honest, Wang Zhong has experienced several generations, and it is the first time he has seen it.

Whether it is the world of laughter or the world of flying knives, it was the peak of the development of the Ming Dynasty at that time, although the people were not rich, they always had porridge to eat, and they would not starve to death.

However, in today's Northern Song Dynasty, under the governance of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, especially in the past two years, the people in many poor areas have not had a mouthful of porridge to drink, eat tree roots, eat tree bark, and eat people.
